Pharmacy - The original Snake oil Poster
Ever wonder where the term Snake oil comes from?
It all started on 1879, when a cowboy of 11 years, named Clark Stanley studied under a Hopi medicine man in the Walpi, Arizona. Or that's what he said. From him, he learned the "secrets of Snake Oil". A medicine that can cure so many different kinds of ailments. With the help of a Boston druggist, he began to market the liniment at Western medicine shows.
By 1893, he demonstrated at the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago, using a number of rattlesnakes as a way to draw in attention. After that he went to create production facilities in Beverly, MA, and Providence, RI.
However it came to an end in 1916, as it went through the Food and Drug act (created in 1906). Where they analyzed it, and found out it was nothing more than mineral oil, capsaicin (from chili peppers), and turpentine. It was found useless, it had no value, and cured nothing. He was fined $20 (about $560 in 2019).
Ever since then the term Snake Oil, is now known as fake, and worthless relating to medicine. The funny thing is though, today's medicine pretty much uses the same ingredients. A pain cream will have capsaicin in it, often a petroleum product like mineral oil, and instead of turpentine, they would use menthol...

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.

Fun bright artwork that really captures the mood I’m going for! Pop art with cyberpunk energy. A little sweet but also spicy. This art is the perfect size and vibe for our art gallery wall. The printing looks great, high quality with vibrant colors! I went with the semi-gloss finish, which adds a little extra shine and thickness to the print making it excellent for high-traffic areas like the staircase wall.
